Tayo Faniran, the runner-up of Big Brother Africa and an actor, has outlined the criteria that a movie script and producer must meet for him to accept an acting role.

In a recent interview with Hip TV, the former reality star emphasized the importance of his role in a movie as the primary factor he considers.

Faniran stated, "The first thing I look for when I receive a script is my positioning in the story. I believe I am a leading man. I possess all the qualities required to be a lead actor. Furthermore, I strive to be the best in what I do. I search for a character that will showcase my potential, often in the lead or supporting lead roles."

He further expressed his desire to avoid being typecast, saying, "I don't want to be limited to certain roles like playboy, lover boy, or bad guy. I seek diversity; something that allows me to exhibit my versatility."

Faniran also takes into account the reputation of the film's producers and the overall quality of the project. He considers factors such as its reach, audience appeal, and how it can contribute to his career. Finally, he weighs the financial aspect, assessing whether the monetary compensation aligns with the value of his time and business commitments.

It's worth mentioning that Tayo Faniran made his impressive debut in the blockbuster series "Gangs Of Lagos," the first African original production by Amazon Prime Video, which premiered in April. In the series, he portrayed the character Ninalowo, also known as Nino, a notorious yet kindhearted gang leader in Isale Eko.
